Precipitation Reactions


All the anions were Sodium salts except for the Phosphate. The phosphate anion is derived from making a solution of superphosphate. This may also have contained sulphate anions so a comparision needed to be made with the sulphate.

All the cations were derived from Nitrate salts except for Calcium for which Calcium Chloride was used
